Abstract (en)
According to an aspect, there is provided a computer implemented method performed as part of an ultrasound, US, examination of a subject. The method comprising: i) causing a three-dimensional, 3D, ultrasound probe to obtain a first 2D US image, wherein the first 2D US image is obtained in a first scanning plane of the probe; ii) causing the US probe to obtain one or more other 2D US images in a sub-volume surrounding the first scanning plane, wherein the sub-volume has a smaller spanning angle than that of a 3D mode of the probe; and iii) determining whether a target is closer to the first 2D US image or one of the one or more other 2D US images.
